Star Crossed Lovers (TAELICE)

"another dating rumor"? Jisoo asked looking at me looking at my phone while she cooks, i nod my head and throw my phone on the couch  and go to the kitchen "so what's the plan for tonight"? I ask her smiling hoping she'd want to hangout with me "I have a date with Haein" she responds "aishhhh" why am I single"? I whine 

"That's your fault" Jisoo responds making me go silent as Rosie walks into the room "are you busy today" i ask her immediately "yes I am" she pats my head taking a spoon of the rice jisoo made and walking out of the house. "Wahhhh" I said in utter disbelief of the lack of support I'm receiving. 

Hours later my manager came over to get me for a celine photoshoot, we head over to YG for the photoshoot, after 6 hours we were done, I was then called into a meeting with the Celine board on facetime. I headed over to the conference room in yg entertainment "Lisa!" Heidi exclaimed when I walked into the room, I smile immediately looking at the big screen with him already on "Heidi, hiiii" i take my seat and was handed a pamphlet "PARIS FASHION SHOW 2022: CELINE" my mouth dropped as I looked up at heidi and our CEO "Really"? I said in shock considering the company hasn't allowed me to do a PFW in a while. "thank you so much" I say suddenly excited for it. 

A very dark and gloomy cloud settled over my head after turning a few pages to see that Taehyung was also going to be apart this year and with celine at that, I tried not to let it show but my heart was in my stomach. "you can do this" I said to myself and took a deep breath.

I returned home with one thing on my mind PFW, I can't decline, and I can't say I don't want him there so I'm gonna have to suck it up. "I wonder what all his rumored new girlfriends think of this " I think to myself, going on instagram I see everyone talking about it already. 

Putting my phone down I took a shower, brushed my teeth and headed to bed. 

Next Morning

Joonie: "are you busy today?" 

I look at my phone in confusion, "he never texts me" I think to myself putting my laptop to the side and picking up my phone "yeah but what's up"? I respond to him, a few seconds later my phone pings once again 

Joonie: "I wanted to hang out with you" feeling even more confused "okay sure, where should we meet?" I respond to him furrowing my eyebrows and getting up to get ready. This was supposed to be my lazy day, I get up and change into sweats with with a crop top and a cap grabbing my shoes and leaving the house. 

I headed to a cafe i've been to multiple times, walking in and putting on a mask I walk in and see namjoon waving at me, next to him a girl and - I feel stuck in my tracks "taehyung" I take a deep sign finally putting the pieces together, I roll my eyes and walked over to the table, greeting namjoon. "hey lisa" namjoon says to me and introduces me to the lady next to him, whom I already know cause i'm literally in love with her but trying to play it cool "this is my girlfriend Mun-" he was cut off by her  standing up "moon ga-young" she says and bows, I bow "big fan" I say smiling at her, she gives me a warm smile "taehyung-ssi told me, huge fan of yours as well" she says and I take a seat avoiding eye contact from taehyung, who wasn't even giving me the time of the day so i don't know why I'm playing it cool

"I thought it would be fun if we went on a double date" Namjoon said excited, I took a peek at taehyung and he didn't seem phased by it, just mad, "we're not together, should I call jimin and rose" 

Taehyung responded making my heart sink into my stomach, the atmosphere was tense which made me feel uncomfortable "just because you're not dating doesn't mean you can't be friends, you guys have known each other for a while, just this once please". Namjoon said with pleading eyes, I look over at taehyung but he avoids eye contact "okay" i say and he nods.

We walk out of the cafe, namjoon and gayoung holding hands, taehyung walked in front of me and I just followed behind "this was probably a bad idea" I say to myself, we decided to take a walk along the han river, it was already pretty late so not many people were around, we walked for a while and came across a small restaurant, namjoon walks in pulling kayoung with him and we just followed, we took our seats and looked at the menus, namjoon and kayoung discussed what they should eat while tae and I stayed silent just looking at the menu, I already knew what I wanted but  couldn't bear looking up from the menu. Namjoon called the owner over and ordered for them, I ordered tteokbokki, while tae ordered japchae and truffle fries which I didn't know were on the menu, that's my favorite I thought to myself.

Few minutes later, our food came, after taehyung got his food he placed the fries in front of me and pretended like it didn't happen "ouuuuuu" namjoon punches his arm and I smile "i could kiss you right now" I said out of habit, our table is silent then taehyung puckers his lips facing me, i'm sure he's joking but.. I kissed him
